When plotting one one dataset using bar charts, the resulting display is kinda
blah (all red bar charts, see attachment).

The team should consider exposing cycle_clrs as an option to the user to cycle
colors on the bar charts.



Reproducible: Always

Attachment: bar chart with cycle_clrs=1... Nice!

In our installation, I kludged this and just passed the cycle_clrs CGI parm  in
report.cgi to the template.

In the report-bar.png.tmpl, I just had a switch ala cumulates to turn on
cycle_clrs.

Perhaps, the team should put this on the reporting interface.
